All disease begins in the gut.

– Hippocrates

There aren't as many things as good for your gut as sweet potatoes... it's packed with dietary fiber/prebiotics (nutrients that feed the beneficial bacterium in your gut!) to help nourish the microflora in your gut!

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3705355/ —A study that goes further into the mechanism and health benefits of prebiotics

Prebiotics also linked with improved sleep and stress resilience! https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/02/170225102123.htm

Enough of that introduction to convince you that sweet potatoes are a superfood... Time for fun! ... Chop chop..

Ingredients:

  • A sweet potato
  • 1 tbsp of arrowroot flour
  • 1/2 tbsp of olive oil

Best to cut in half, I find them to large too chop up otherwise, this parts up to you.

About 1/4 inch cuts

Adding the flour gives it a bit of a crunch. Arrowroot flour is also a prebiotic! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...
